Where is Piatra Neamţ?

Bâtca Doamnei Hill marks the ground. Piatra Neamț lies in the mountainous part of Moldavia, inside the Eastern Carpathian Mountains, and the roughly seventy-seven square kilometres it covers take in slopes as much as level ground. Neamț County runs on around it.

Neamț County records the same, and the season on the higher ground around Piatra Neamț runs to a different calendar from the season down in the valley.
